Creating the Future of Health is the fascinating story of the first
fifty years of the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of
Calgary.Founded at the recommendation of the Royal Commission on
Health Services in 1964 the Cumming School has, from the very
beginning, focused on innovation and excellence in health
education. With a pioneering focus on novel, responsive and
systems-based approaches, it was one of the first sites to pilot
multi-year training programs in family medicine and remains one of
only two three-year medical schools in North America. Since the
first class in 1973, over 5000 doctors have graduated from the
Cumming School of Medicine. Centres of clinical excellences have
been created at four affiliated teaching hospitals and the school
now boasts seven medical research institutes at the
Foothills/Alberta Children's Campus, the largest medical complex in
the province. Drawing on interviews with key players and extensive
research into documents and primary material, Creating the Future
of Health traces the history of the school through the leadership
of its Deans. This is a story of perseverance through fiscal
turbulence, sweeping changes to health care and health care
education, and changing ideas of what health services are and what
they should do. It is a story of triumph, of innovation, and of the
Calgary tenacious spirit that thrives to this day at the Cumming
School of Medicine.
